Today, the Islamic Republic of Iran has confirmed the execution by hanging of 18-year-old Melika Azizi. Arrested in January during nationwide protests, she was charged with “moharebeh” (waging war against God) for allegedly burning regime symbols. Today, she was executed. This is an act of unacceptable brutality that reminds us, once again, how the death penalty is used in Iran as a tool of repression against anyone who dares to raise their voice. We cannot stay silent. Every execution of such a young person is a collective failure of the international community. I urge you all to share this post, to speak about Melika, and to keep supporting the organizations defending human rights in Iran. Human dignity is non-negotiable. Ever. #HumanRights #Iran #NoDeathPenalty #MelikaAzizi #StopExecutions #EndExecutions

Trump just dropped one of the strongest ultimatums in years to Iran: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.” He’s threatening to wipe out power plants, bridges, and drag Iran back to the Stone Age if they don’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz by his 8 p.m. deadline. This is his war — Operation Epic Fury against the ayatollah regime. And here’s the real kicker: if Trump loses this one, it’s over. End of his presidency, end of his legacy, game over. He has absolutely nothing left to lose right now, so he’s going all-in with these nuclear-level threats. Win big or it’s finished. What do you guys think — does this close the deal or what? 🔥💥

Italian Court Orders Netflix to Refund Millions Over Unfair Price HikesA Rome court has sided with consumer group Movimento Consumatori, ruling that Netflix’s price increases in 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2024 were unfair because the terms didn’t clearly explain the reasons. Netflix now faces a major hit in Italy:Refunds of up to €500 per Premium subscriber or €250 for Standard Must notify its ~5.4 million Italian users within 90 days Forced to revert prices to 2015 levels (e.g. €11.99 for Premium) Netflix says it will appeal, but analysts warn this could create big risks for subscription services across Europe under EU consumer rules.Big win for consumer

SpaceX’s confidential SEC filing (April 1) reveals plans for a historic IPO targeting a valuation above $2 trillion—up from $1.75 trillion less than two weeks ago. Led by Bank of America, Citi, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan & Morgan Stanley, the offering aims to raise as much as $75 billion, with up to 30% reserved for retail investors (triple the typical allocation). This follows SpaceX’s February 2026 all-stock merger with xAI, valued at $1.25 trillion combined. The synergy enables “orbital intelligence”: integrating Grok AI with Starlink’s 10,000-satellite constellation to create space-based data centers that bypass terrestrial bottlenecks. Proceeds will accelerate Starship flight schedules, fund a permanent lunar base, and advance Mars colonization goals—turning long-term vision into near-term infrastructure. While Elon Musk called the $2T figure “BS” on X last week, advisers continue presenting it to investors during testing-the-waters briefings. A public prospectus is expected in April or May, followed by a formal roadshow. If successful, this would dwarf Saudi Aramco’s 2019 IPO as the largest in history. #SpaceX #IPO2026 #xAI #OrbitalIntelligence #Starship #LunarBase #MarsColonization

@elonmusk Come on, man, have you seen Claude's update? You’ve got nothing — no code agent, no AGI...

What makes the API update interesting

Italian deputy…

New US intelligence assessments reveal approximately half of Iran's missile launchers remain intact after over five weeks of US-Israeli strikes—directly contradicting White House claims of imminent defeat. Despite striking 12,300+ targets and Iran acknowledging degraded capabilities (90% fewer ballistic attacks on US forces), Tehran retains significant assets: thousands of attack drones, coastal cruise missiles threatening Hormuz shipping, and dispersed launchers in tunnels. Recent events underscore this resilience: an Iranian air defense shot down a US F-15E over central Iran (first US combat jet lost to enemy fire in the war), while Iranian drones struck Kuwait's Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery, igniting fires. Administration rhetoric framing the conflict as nearing a swift end ("maybe two weeks") clashes with assessments showing Iran still poised to "wreak absolute havoc" regionally. This disconnect raises critical questions about campaign objectives and endurance. #Iran #MiddleEast #MilitaryIntelligence #Geopolitics #USForeignPolicy #StraitOfHormuz

Tragedy in Iran: Amirhossein Hatami was hanged on Thursday after his arrest during the January 2026 protests. This marks the end of a wave of secret executions that began on March 30. In just four days, Iran executed at least five political prisoners — all killings carried out in secret, without notifying families or lawyers. Even the Iranian judiciary’s own press agency and international human rights organizations confirm it. Silence is never the answer. #Iran #HumanRights #SecretExecutions

@Giorgioaki tu sei matto

Una follia! Stanno andando a Kiev per “commemorare i 4 anni della strage di Bucha”, (che ha commesso il governo di Kiev e non la Russia!) Ma come si fa a non capire ancora niente di Ucraina?? O a mentire così spudoratamente? Aspettiamoci dunque di nuovo la sfilata dei buffoni a Bucha… Quando smetteranno di prendere in giro gli italiani? E poi Tajani che ripete a pappagallo la frase “Slava Ukraini” non sa neppure che sta proclamando una frase di natura nazista??? Ignorano la storia, una Vergogna! Marinella Mondaini

@ChiodiDonatella Secondo me questa donna ha problemi psichiatrici seri. Non sto scherzando, veramente deve fare i controlli.

E comunque a me me pare normale controllare una persona con precedenti penali. Quello che a me non me pare normale è che una persona con precedenti penali sia diventata eurodeputata. Poi fate un po' voi... #IlariaSalis #Salis #28marzo

The Middle East is approaching a dangerous turning point. What began as a high-risk military confrontation is now showing signs of becoming a wider geopolitical crisis, with the USS Abraham Lincoln at the center of growing attention and Iran intensifying its warnings. Every new statement, deployment, and threat is adding pressure to an already volatile situation. This is no longer just about one military asset or one isolated front. It is about the possibility of a wider war that could redraw regional dynamics, disrupt global trade routes, and pull more actors into an increasingly unstable conflict. The fear is not only direct confrontation, but also the chain reaction that could follow a single misstep. History has shown that in moments of extreme tension, escalation can happen faster than diplomacy. That is why this phase is being watched with such concern by governments, analysts, and observers around the world. The risk is real, the rhetoric is hardening, and the margin for error is becoming dangerously small. #IranCrisis #MiddleEastConflict #NavalTensions #MilitaryEscalation #GlobalSecurity #WarNews #DefenseUpdate #GulfTensions #StrategicCrisis #WorldAffairs #InternationalSecurity #ConflictWatch #Breaking #Geopolitics #CrisisUpdate

Why do I have so many people from Turkey and Pakistan?

🚨 The crisis in the Strait of Hormuz is no longer just an energy issue—it is cascading into a full-blown global manufacturing emergency. Nearly a month into the conflict, the effective closure of this critical maritime choke point is crippling the global plastics, chemicals, and semiconductor supply chains. Here is what is happening on the ground: 🛢️ The Petrochemical Squeeze: Naphtha—often called the "rice of the petrochemical industry"—has seen prices surge 26% in just ten days. With Asian producers relying on the Middle East for over 60% of their seaborne naphtha, major plants in South Korea, Thailand, and Taiwan are already declaring force majeure and halting operations. 📈 Global Price Shocks: The ripple effect has reached the West. European giants like BASF are raising commodity prices by up to 30%, while North American producers like Dow and LyondellBasell are implementing drastic price hikes on plastic resins. As one U.S. buyer described the market: "It is freaking chaos." 💻 The Hidden Tech Vulnerability: Beyond plastics, semiconductor production is under severe threat. Attacks on Qatar's Ras Laffan facility have slashed global Helium exports by 14%. With tech hubs like South Korea heavily dependent on Qatari helium, major chipmakers are facing a critical raw material shortage just as the AI boom demands more production. From the packaging on our food to the microchips in our devices, this crisis is a stark reminder of how deeply interconnected and fragile our global supply chains truly are. How is your industry preparing for these unprecedented raw material cost increases and supply bottlenecks? Let's discuss below. 👇 #SupplyChain #Geopolitics #Manufacturing #Semiconductors #Petrochemicals #GlobalEconomy #Logistics

Trump’s 15-point proposal to Iran is a pivotal moment for global security. A one‑month ceasefire, limits on Tehran’s nuclear program and reopening the Strait of Hormuz could de‑escalate tensions, stabilize energy markets and save countless lives—but only if all sides show real political will, not just tactical moves. The exclusion of US- and Israel-linked vessels keeps risk high and shows how fragile this “conditional opening” really is. This is exactly when diplomacy, transparency and multilateral pressure must work together to avoid another spiraling conflict in the Middle East. #USIran #Trump #Iran #Hormuz #Geopolitics #OilMarkets #Ceasefire #MiddleEast #Diplomacy

🇮🇹 We saved the Italian Constitution today! The people have spoken loud and clear: with a massive victory for the NO vote, we rejected the dangerous judicial reform and protected our democracy, the independence of our judiciary, and the very heart of our Republic. No one touches our Constitution. This is a historic win for freedom, justice, and every Italian who believes in the rule of law! Grazie a tutti quelli che hanno votato NO. La Costituzione è salva e più forte che mai! 💪✊ #WeSavedTheConstitution #Referendum2026 #NoVince #ItaliaUnita #Democrazia

In questi giorni Pedro Sánchez rivendica il “miracolo” delle rinnovabili: in Spagna il prezzo all’ingrosso dell’elettricità è arrivato a 14 €/MWh, mentre in Italia si viaggia oltre i 100 €/MWh nello stesso giorno, grazie a un mix dove le rinnovabili coprono circa il 60% della produzione e il gas conta molto meno nella formazione del prezzo. Ma dietro lo slogan “l’elettricità costa un settimo” ci sono almeno due ombre: da un lato condizioni meteo favorevoli e bacini idrici pieni che non sono garantiti tutto l’anno; dall’altro il fatto che anche Madrid ha appena varato un piano da 5 miliardi con 80 misure per contenere la crisi energetica, inclusa la riduzione dell’IVA su luce e gas. In Italia, invece, continuiamo a chiedere di sospendere l’ETS mentre quasi il 70% dei progetti rinnovabili resta bloccato nelle istruttorie: così trasformiamo un problema strutturale in una guerra di slogan, invece di accelerare davvero su autorizzazioni, accumuli e reti. La vera lezione spagnola non è “paghiamo un settimo rispetto all’Italia”, ma che investire per tempo nelle rinnovabili rende meno vulnerabili agli shock dei combustibili fossili: il resto è propaganda energetica. #energia #rinnovabili #Spagna #Italia #PedroSanchez #GiorgiaMeloni #caroenergia #ETS #transizioneecologica #politicheenergetiche #PNIEC #clima

Reports from French prosecutors suggest that Elon Musk may have deliberately fueled a wave of AI-generated deepfakes on X to boost corporate valuations ahead of a future IPO. If confirmed, this case could become a defining moment in how regulators address the intersection of artificial intelligence, social media influence, and financial manipulation. The question now is: can the governance of digital platforms keep pace with the ethics of AI? #AIethics #DeepfakeCrisis #Regulation #Accountability #ElonMusk #DigitalGovernance #ArtificialIntelligence #TechNews #MediaIntegrity #IPO2026

Reddit is exploring biometric verification like Face ID and Touch ID to tackle its growing bot problem — but can it do that without breaking the platform’s long-standing culture of anonymity? CEO Steve Huffman says the goal is “proof of personhood, not identity,” while co‑founder Alexis Ohanian questions how you can ever “sell face‑scanning to Redditors.” As more platforms turn to face and ID checks, the real challenge isn’t just stopping bots, it’s rebuilding user trust. #Reddit #Biometrics #FaceID #OnlinePrivacy #Anonymity #SocialMedia #AIbots #DigitalRights #DataProtection #TechNews

China’s Brain Chip Ambitions: Three Years Behind, but Rapidly Closing the Gap This week, Chinese brain-computer interface (BCI) firm NeuCyber Neurotech publicly admitted that its most advanced neural implant, Beinao‑2, is roughly three years behind Elon Musk’s Neuralink in terms of human use and clinical experience. What’s striking, however, is not the gap itself, but how fast China is moving to close it. Beijing now classifies BCIs as a strategic national priority, has channelled hundreds of millions of yuan into NeuCyber and related ventures, and is backing a dedicated 11.6 billion yuan “brain science fund” to drive research-to-market translation China has also become the first country to approve an invasive BCI device for commercial sale, granting Neuracle Technology a license for an implant that helps partially paralyzed patients regain hand function. In this emerging race between Neuralink and China’s state-backed innovators, the critical difference may lie not in engineering alone, but in how quickly each ecosystem can navigate clinical trials, regulation, ethics, and public trust. The question isn’t only who leads in technology, but who leads in responsibility. #Neuralink #NeuCyber #BrainComputerInterface #BCI #Neurotech #ChinaTech #InnovationPolicy #DigitalHealth #MedTech #AI

@cb_doge Grok doesn’t have an agent that orchestrates your work, it doesn’t have a coding agent, and until it has these it will never be competitive with Claude or GPT.
